Artist History The history of Spectone originates back to March of 1995, when two guys hooked up and formed the now defunct Hellrazor Productions.Tone was brought in as a producer with lots of creative ideas, but still relatively new to the music business. Eventually,Tone hooked up with one of Hellrazor's founders, Carlos, and since then have worked together on different aspects of music. Through Tone's contribution on a much anticipated reggae album, joining up with the independent label, Giant Entertainment, and working with lots of talents unsigned artists, Spectone has gained a small but respected reputation uptown as a production company with hot, banging hip hop tracks with superb emcee's and great production quality. With 5 years in this competitive business, Spectone has yet to fully "blow up" nationwide, but we are extremely confident that Spectone Productions will reach the upper echelons of music entertainment. 2002 is the year Spectone Productions will shine. Remember the name......Spectone!!!
